TEP A: PUFF PASTRY
1. Make one recipe of puff pastry, using half in this recipe and reserving the other half for another use.
STEP B: APPLE CRANBERRY FILLING
1 1⁄2 pounds Granny Smith apples
3 1⁄2 ounces 1 cup 100 g fresh cranberries
3 1 ⁄ 2 ounces 1 ⁄ 2 cup 100 g granulated sugar
1 ounce 1 ⁄ 8 cup 30 g light brown sugar (packed if measuring by volume)
1 fluid ounce 1 ⁄ 8 cup 30 mL apple cider or apple juice
1 tablespoon 15 mL lemon juice
3 ⁄ 4 teaspoon 1.25 g ground cinnamon
1. Peel, core, and chop two thirds of the apples (1 pound; 455 g) into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces. Reserve the remaining apples.
2. In a large, heavy saucepan, place the apples, cranberries, both sugars, apple cider or juice, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat for approximately 10 to 20 minutes or until the apples soften and the cranberries have burst open. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
3. Peel, core, and chop the remaining apples into 1 ⁄ 2 -inch (12-mm) pieces. Add the apples and the cinnamon to the cooked apple-cranberry mixture.
4. Cool completely before using.
STEP C: ASSEMBLY MEASUREMENTS INGREDIENTS U.S. METRIC
1 large egg mixed with 1 teaspoon (5 mL) water to be used as a glue and wash As desired As desired granulated sugar for sprinkling
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
2. Roll out the puff pastry to a square 18 by 18 inches (46 by 46 cm). Trim any rough edges to make sure they are even.
3. Cut nine 6-inch (15.25-cm) squares using a pizza cutter (Figure 3–44).
4. Using a pastry brush, egg wash around the edges of each square and place 1.5 ounces (1 1 ⁄ 2 heaping tablespoons; 45 g) of apple-cranberry filling into the center of each one. Fold the squares diagonally to form triangles, sealing the edges well .Using a sharp knife, make one or two slits through the top of each triangle to allow steam to escape. Transfer the filled turnovers onto a parchment-covered sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, egg wash the tops of each turnover and sprinkle each one generously with sugar.
5. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until the turnovers are golden brown and the fruit is bubbling through the slits
